We're all volunteers. We don't rent an office. Thanks to the generosity of Metro, the Aquarium of the Pacific and others, we often travel for free and receive discounted or complimentary tickets to the places we visit.

Still, a program like ours costs something. Even with group rate discounts, our largest expense is for admissions: more than forty-five percent of our 2005 expenses were used just to pay our way into the museums, the aquarium and other venues we visit. We're paying more for insurance, too, simply because we're booking more trips with more kids. Finally, our TransitPeople jerseys cost money, as do first aid kits and Red Cross training for our Trip Leaders.

Please click here to make a credit card donation to TransitPeople through the Network for Good non-profit center. (Network for Good will deduct 3% of your donation to cover processing costs.) Or, do it the old fashioned way: you're always welcome to send a check instead! Click here for the address.

All donations to TransitPeople are fully tax-deductible ... and non-refundable, so please don't donate if you think you're going to need the money later. We can't send a check to the gas company for you ... but we will send you a receipt for the IRS, and a thank you letter. You'll deserve it.
